PBKS vs SRH Highlights: Quick fifties from openers and Shreyas Iyer extend Punjab Kings' unbeaten run

PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer wins the Player of the Match award for his 69* off 33 balls innings.

"Firstly, we've got a phenomenal start. When you're chasing 220, you need that start. Pleasing to the eye, proper cricketing shots. Steadied the rhythm at the start. Not easy, but maintaining that momentum - I needed to give myself time. Once I gauged the pace of the pitch... [After SRH's start] All of us came together, and Shashank approached me, give me an over. Ricky came and asked me, what's your thought? I said I'll go with Shashank - I need someone to take the pace off. He lived up to his expectations, he lived up to what he said, kudos to him."

"We could have ended with a total of 250, the way we started... At the same time, they batted well in the beginning. At the same time, we were not so good with the execution - in T20 cricket, the most important thing is the execution of your good balls. 190 is a par score here, we could have had 240 here. But 220 was a great total. We had six or seven bowlers. It showed in their batting that it was easier scoring runs for them. I think in today's age, you don't have to plan much - you just do ahead of the game."

Shreyas Iyer and Shashank Singh avoid late drama to finish the game in the 19th over. A big win for the hosts, keeping them 2nd in the points table.

Shreyas Iyer scored 69* off just 33 balls to keep Punjab Kings unbeaten in the IPL 2026.
